Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software

EvilCowzGoMoo writes "From the makers of our favorite OS comes: Anti-Virus! Yes you heard me right. According to an article on Reuters.com Microsoft is developing its own brand of anti-virus software. Asked if that would hurt sales of competing products, such as Network Associates' McAfee and Symantec's Norton family of products, Nash (chief of Microsoft's security business unit) said that Microsoft said that it would sell its anti-virus program as a separate product from Windows, rather than including it in Windows. My only question is: If they can't seem to patch their OS fast enough, what makes them think they can keep their AV software up to date?"

Yet another retard babbling even though his IT knowledge is 4 years out of date. If you haven't had a comptuer job since the whole ILOVEYOU.vbs thing, it's time to retire your slashdot account.

Do you think the guys at Valve were stupid?

Yes, they were using Outlook.
